It's a ghost town for these type of shops in GA. When I was a kid, there were 3 shops in the same shopping area we could walk to. I've only been to this one once. Haven't seen any others near me. It was small and cramped but the guy was very nice. It must be very hard to own one of these stores now.

Are there only two shops in the state? Slow death of hobby stores.

Why do both stores have terrible websites too?

I remember the days in Metro Atlanta Area where there were tons of hobby shop to go to.

Now only two or three hobby shops as mentioned in this thread. Then we got one show take place twice a month in Marietta, GA with some ok dealers.

Not sure why hobby are dying off in GA.....

It is horrible not having a shop near by. I live in NE GA as well and it is barren here.

But, the internet and Wal Mart are my salvation. lol

I have been trying to open a shop in Alpharetta but have a hard time getting panini or topps to respond so I can open an account. Any help would be appreciated.
